California FHA Loans | C2 Financial Corporation

Who qualifies for FHA loans?

First-time home buyers. First-time buyers are traditionally seen as risky investments by mortgage lenders, but with the FHA backing you up, you have a chance to purchase your dream home. If you qualify, your down payment could be as low as 3.5% of the total price of the home.
Seniors looking for a reverse mortgage. If you are 62 or older and currently live in a home that you own outright or are close to owning outright, you may qualify for an FHA reverse mortgage. This allows you to convert some of your home equity back into cash to pay your other bills.
Home owners looking to make improvements. If you have plans to improve the energy efficiency of your home, you may qualify for an FHA Energy-Efficient Mortgage.

FHA Loans: Low Down Payments, Easy Qualifying

Looking for a way to save money on your San Jose home? San Jose may be an incredible place to live, but it can be a very expensive one too, and nowhere is that more obvious than in the housing market. If you’re searching for a competitive, low down payment, government-guaranteed program, this is it.

FHA Loan Rate Qualifier

What is an FHA loan? This is a special type of mortgage which is insured by the Federal Housing Administration, an agency that operates as part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). FHA loans protect San Jose mortgage lenders dealing with customers who are deemed risky. That way lenders are more willing to work with those customers instead of leaving them out in the cold.

What are the benefits of a San Jose FHA loan?

Low down payments
Easy to qualify for, even without great credit (your score needs to be above 500).
Low closing costs

Shawn and his team are so responsive and knowledgeable. I have referred a few people to him over the years and they raved about what a good experience it was and what an expert he is as he gave them strategies and advise they wouldn't have considered otherwise. It's my pleasure to highly recommend Shawn.

We have refinanced with Shawn multiple times over the years and we wouldn't go to anyone else for our financial needs. Shawn is very knowledgeable and efficient with the process. He also walks you through everything and answers any and all questions. I'm not one to trust easily when it comes to money but I definitely have built a comfort level with him over the years! I recommend him and his team hands down.

Shawn and his team were really good at communicating throughout the refi process. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure the process was smooth for us. We used an online portal for managing all the document sharing etc, which made it pretty easy. He was able to provide competitive offers vs. other brokers saving us money. I'd happily work with him in the future as well.

I couldn’t be more pleased that I chose to use Shawn Sidhu from C2 Financial Corporation for my home refinance. The whole process was smooth and easy. They have a great online portal which make it very clear which documents are required and when and the level of communication and guidance was exceptional from Shawn and his team. I always knew exactly what was going on and was easy to reach him if I didn’t. I would use them again and thoroughly recommend them to any friends or family looking to do the same.

I just closed my 1st home purchased with Shawn! Shawn started helping me from getting pre approved to agent recommendations few years back and despite challenges and failures he is always available to answer your questions and offer solutions. Our appraisal came in short, as kind of expected, but Shawn despite so busy able to pull it out and still offered different solutions. I'm so happy with what he came up with. I really appreciate his willingness, easy going, on-time, and dedication to do what he can to find and offer the best solutions possible. Glad to have his back!

Shawn was absolutely fantastic ! His communication skills were top notch and we couldn’t be happier. He allowed us to close early on a second property. He was able to do some extra research for other loan options on a complicated transaction and without him we wouldn’t have got it done.

Shawn and team did an amazing job in making sure that we close our loan in record time! The best part about working with Shawn (for a first time home buyer like me) was that he was always quick to respond to every query we had during the whole process. As a first time buyer, I did not feel any pressure throughout the process, since Shawn took care of the whole thing and made sure that we reach the closing line with ease. I would strongly recommend Shawn for any mortgage loan needs and hope to work with him again during our refinancing.

Shawn and team moved mountains to solution my loan in an extremely short turn-around time. Nothing slipped throughout the entire process and communication was exactly what you hope for instead of biting your nails uncertain what to expect. I didn't have time to hand hold, but also needed quick answer to the questions I did have. Shawn had me covered on all fronts and it was a great crossing the finish line on time. Strongly recommend ! I wish he had a brother that works on cars :-)

We were referred by our realtor to Shawn for the financing of our home purchase. The whole process went very smooth! As stressful as buying a home is, this financing part of the process was easy. The online uploading of docs was straightforward, and we were always kept in the loop about progress and what to expect next. Will definitely keep Shawn and his team in mind for any future needs!

Shawn is great! He helped us get our mortgage in just 28 days! We couldn't have asked for someone better to work with. He is a go-getter and won't stop until he helps you get the best for you. Shawn was available any time we needed to ask a question or when we had any concern. He also offered us a few options to choose from so we had control over our situation from the beginning. I highly recommend you give him a call. Thank you Shawn for all your help. We could definitely not have done it without you.

I am so grateful to have found Shawn/C2 Financial! Words could not describe how blessed I feel to have found him! I was stuck in a financial situation that was tough for me to get out of, and had spoke to my credit union and one other bank, which advised me I had to wait another year before they were able to fund me. I found Shawn on Yelp, and based on his great reviews, I decided to follow through with him/C2 financial. I spoke to him around mid July and was funded by September! When I had been waiting on my Credit Union for 6 months before I decided to move on somewhere else!(Santa Cruz Credit Union if it means anything to anyone) Although he/it seemed to be a company with lots of clientele NEVER once! did I feel I was second to anybody. Even when he was on vacation he responded quickly to my emails when I really wasn't expecting him to. Shawn is truly a perfectionist in his profession, and a Blessing in disguise for me in my life. I will MOST DEFINITELY recommend Shawn/ C2 Financial to anybody and everybody! I could not thank you enough Shawn! I will definitely be doing business with you again in the near future :) Thank you!Sophia.
